CHAPTER 2

Blue Distant Sky

Aether Kingdom: Desert

Now in the desert the hedgehogs named Blade and Blue they walked across the desert where the enemy troops like Para-Goomba, Red Koopa, Chuck Guy, Stingby, Draglet, Swoop, Elasto Piranha, Propeller Shy Guy, Bill Blasters, bat-like bots called Batton, Mettaur, Sniper Joe, Bronto Burt and Buzzer started to appear.

"Okay, some of those enemies we faced them before." Blade said as he got ready his sword.

"Even some of them look familiar." Blue added, also preparing his sword.

Both of them dodged the attacks, then Blade delivers quick horizontal slashes before performing vertical wide slashes which unleash a blue blur, a Spin Dash with the sword, quick upward slashes and quick downward slashes while airborne, now with Blue his horizontal slash had a small attack margin, also performs a fiery horizontal slash with his sword, also a Spin Dash with his sword, upper sword slashes and midair slashes, both continued until they managed to defeat all the enemies.

"Some of the enemies are from Mushroom Kingdom while others are from Megaland, Dreamland and Mobius." Blade said, recognizing the enemies.

"Maybe we should explore more." Blue suggested and Blade nodded.

The two swordsman hedgehogs continued.

---

Forest

Both Blade and Blue continued across a forest, by now they were no enemies, only they saw a modernized town.

"There are humans living there." Blue said, noticing a familiar race.

"Yes, however we cannot be in Mobius' alternate dimension." Blade said.

Then they resumed the search for more hints.

---

Coastal Village

Meanwhile, back there, Caleb was explaining part of his backstory while Caeli and Kibou are having fun in the water (in their swimsuits obviously), now enjoying the seawater, even Sammy joined them too, he is wearing a light green swimming shorts reaching the half of his thighs and has a shark-themed swim mask and he is swimming.

"Just before your arrival, and also before the restoration of the Aether Kingdom, when Aria was a spirit her heart revealed to have a turquoise petal when we were in Radiant Garden, her heart was fragmented, seven remaining, a total of eight fragments, we came to the kingdom in ruins where we found the fragments of Aria's heart, thanks to certain prophecy, if a sacred heart is destroyed, only the person who possesses the Crest of Destiny will be able to restore the fragmented heart, we had to hurry up before the Soulless could do something bad, even Master Xehanort appeared when there were 2 fragments remaining, after gathering them successfully Aria was back to her physical form not being longer a spirit." Caleb explained his backstory when he had to restore Aria's heart.

"Even without my power of Sacred Heart, what really matters is that I'm alive and also I have new powers." Aria said.

"Well, as Xehanort said. You're lucky enough to save Aria if that prophecy didn't exist." Leo said.

"This is a reference to Kingdom Heart 3 when Sora used the Power of Waking to save Kairi, but this time Caleb was the one who restored Aria and without disappearing." Aries told other Zodiac Warriors.

Just then Blade and Blue arrived and they saw the group.

"Hey!" Blue the Hedgehog called them.

The group turned to see the group, even the nearby team members and the three young members who were swimming heard the call before gathering.

"Blade and Blue from Super Smash Flash." Aries said, recognizing both hedgehogs.

"Mario, Luigi, Link, Young Link, Zelda, Samus, Kirby, Meta Knight, Fox, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Captain Falcon, Mr. Game and Watch, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, X, Zero, Lloyd, Cloud, Crono, Inuyasha, Naruto." Blade said, recognizing some of the members.

"Also Peach, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Bandana Dee, Falco, Krystal, Pichu, Lucario, Ness, Marth, Isaac, Chibi-Robo, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Bomberman, Rayman, Ryu, Simon, Sora, Goku, Luffy and Ichigo." Blue said, recognizing others too.

"Even a Metroid, but also Lyn, Excitebike, Starfy, Silver, Proto Man, Riku, Krillin and Rukia." Blade said, recognizing more of the heroes.

"How do you know our names?" Knuckles asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Sonic, Tails, do you know those guys?" Caleb asked the blue hedgehog and yellow two-tailed fox.

"We never saw them before." Tails answered.

"How does that boy know our names?" Blade asked, referring to Aries.

"I'm multiverse traveler and also you two come from a different universe." Aries answered.

"Now where are Black Mage, Sandbag and Mr. Incredible?" Blue asked.

"Black Mage, I don't know if the Black Mages are still alive after 1,000 years." Aria said as she crossed her arms.

"Sandbag? I never heard of it before." Seth said.

"Here it is." Aquarius said before showing the image of a light gray sandbag with two black eyes.

"I met Mr. Incredible before, however…" Mickey said before explaining.

---

Metroville (15 years ago)

The flashback appeared on a screen of black and white like an old television.

"In a stunning turn of events, two superheroes are being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved." An announcer said as a newspaper appeared and also showed a neon screen.

In the newspaper there is a blond-haired man wearing a supersuit, just as Blue asked, that man is Mr. Incredible but also Mickey Mouse were there.

"The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible and the traveler Mickey Mouse have filed suit against the famed superheros in Superior Court." The announcer said.

Just then the man who was the bandage around his neck, the man who attempted to suicide himself was saved by Mr. Incredible and also Mickey who casted Graviga.

"Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, he didn't want to be saved." Mr. Sandsweet's partner explained to the announcers. "The injury received from Mr. Mouse and Mr. Incredible's actions cause him daily pain."

"We saved your life!" They heard Mr. Incredible speaking.

"You didn't save my life! You ruined my death!" Mr. Sansweet told them.

"My clients have no comments." A lawyer said.

"Another suit was filed by victims of the El train accident." The same announcer said now showing a train's bridge broken and a train tipped over before showing more people with bandages in the neck and all of them are in the Superior Court in bad mood with Mickey and Mr. Incredible. "Incredible's court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over."

More newspapers appeared showing rescues of trains.

"It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity, time for them to join us, or go away." A female lawyer said.

The next part shows Mr. Incredible departing but then multiple angry crowds were protesting waiting for heroes to be gone in the city and not wanting more "accidents".

"Under public pressure, and the financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the Superhero Relocation Program in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work." The announcer said before showing more newspapers with destruction of mannequins, moving heroes statues and people, specifically politicians not wanting to know about the heroes. "Where are they now?"

Then the screen shows people walking normally without the presence of heroes, unless not in the news across Metroville.

"They are living among us, average citizens, average heroes, quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place." The announcer said.

---

Aether Kingdom: Coastal Village

The flashback ended and now back in the present.

"And after that, I wasn't allowed to return to Metroville." Mickey explained to the group.

"Man, that is unacceptable!" Aidan angrily but calmly said.

"I agree, the politicians of Metroville are focused on protecting the image of the society." Aries said, crossing his arms bitterly.

"Which makes Metroville a third version of our world." Jupiter L bitterly said.

"Later we'll change that." Leo told them.

Many of the members couldn't stop wondering about the past events in Metroville, knowing that those politicians are closed-minded which increased the crime in said world.

"So, what are your names?" Blue the Hedgehog asked.

Then after hearing the introductions.

"So, what do you say? Wanna join us." Aria told the two swordsman hedgehogs.

"Well, knowing that we meet familiar faces and new ones, then why not." Blade said, willing to join the team as Blue the Hedgehog nodded in agreement.

"Also it is really cool to meet a Pokémon Trainer with the same name as me." Blue the Hedgehog added.

With that said, the two swordsman hedgehogs are now official members of the team.

"Now, this is for you two, Multiversal Phones." Aquarius said before giving two Multiversal Phones to Blade and Blue.

"Wow." Blue the Hedgehog said.

"Interesting." Blade smirked.

"Is there space for someone more?" Abby asked.

"Yeah." Aquarius said before giving a Multiversal Phone for Luke's girlfriend.

"Well, my real name is Abelyn, I didn't say that name to anyone before." Abelyn said.

"That name fits pretty well." Luke told her.

"Also Abby is to shorten your name." Gemini said.

"Thank you, but until right now I'll keep the name of Abelyn." Abelyn said while winking at Luke.

"So, I think we could go to the Pokéarth to clear our minds after hearing past events caused by closed-minded politicians." Luke said.

"But first we gotta change our clothes first." Caeli said.

"Yeah, I barely forgot that I'm wearing my swimsuit." Kibou added.

Then after Caeli, Kibou and Sammy changed to their regular clothes, everyone teleported to the Pokéarth.

---

Pokéarth: Sinnoh Region

The group managed to arrive there.

"Back at home." Verity said.

"Sinnoh region, based from the Hokkaido region." Taurus said.

"Now that I'm wondering, where's your father?" Caleb asked Ash and Tyson K.

"He is back to his work as a Pokémon Master." Tyson K said, crossing his arms behind his head.

Just then a poster came flying and Caleb grabbed it.

"Based on the Pokémon vs Human Tournament, now a new tournament called Super Smash Bros Tag Tournament is going to take place in Hearthome city next week." Caleb said, reading and called the attention of the Pokémon Trainers.

"Hearthome city." Dawn said.

"It's a Deja Vu." Brock said.

"Now I hope to be with a better tag partner." Ash said.

Just then they heard Kibou's stomach rumbling.

"Heh…" Kibou couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, Kibou." Aria told him reassuringly while hugging him.

Eventually the meal was made. Today there were many dishes of curry (the ones from Pokémon Sword and Shield), sandwiches (the ones from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet) and Poké Puffs.

The Pokémon of the Elemental 10 are having a special meal of Pokémon Food mixed with rare candies and after said meal, some Pokémon of the Elemental 10 started to evolve, Magby evolved to Magmar, Fletchinder to Talonflame, Scorbunny to a teenage version of himself, Charmander to Charmeleon, Tepig to Pignite, Fuecoco to Crocalor, Shellos to Gastrodon, Azurill to Marill, Quaxly to Quaxwell, Pidgey to Pidgeotto, Staravia to Staraptor, Corvisquire to Corviknight, Rufflet being in the Sinnoh region evolved to Braviary Hissuian form, Teddiursa to Ursaring, Sandile to Krokorok, Solosis to Duosion, Hatenna to Hattrem, Flittle to Espathra, Zorua to Zoroark, Impidimp to Morgrem, Galarian Zigzagoon to Galarian Linoone, Larvitar to Pupitar, Pancham to Pangoro, Frigibax evolved to slight big version of himself called Arctibax, Snover to Abomasnow, Vanillish to Vanillixe, Sprigatito to Floragato, Grookey to Twackey, Blitzle to Zebstrika, Toxel to Toxtricity Amped Form, Wattrel to Kilowattrel and Cufant to Copperajah.

"Wow, most of them evolved!" Ash said with a surprised tone.

"But how?" Tyson K asked with curiosity.

"We made a mix of Pokémon food with rare candies." Keith M answered.

"So curious, Rufflet evolved to Braviary Hisuian form, which makes sense because the Hisui region is the same Sinnoh region but in the past." Aries said.

"I still remember when my Scorbunny evolved to Raboot." Victor said, seeing Aiden's Raboot.

"Pancham evolves to Pangoro when a dark type Pokémon is in the team." Clemont said.

"Pancham…" Pancham said, being unsure of evolving.

"Assana's Quaxly evolved Quaxwell." Florian said.

"While Keith's Sprigatito evolved to Floragato." Juliana said.

"Who is that Pokémon?" Caeli asked, referring to Arctibax.

"It's Arctibax, the evolved form of Frigibax." Florian answered.

"This is like playing Pokémon Sword, Shield, Scarlet or Violet." Plucky said.

"Luckily I managed to find these Fire Stones and one Magmatizer in the Paldea region." Aidan said before pulling out three Fire Stones and one Magmatizer.

"I have a Razor Fang, only I need to wait until the night, and as for the Peat Block, only Ursaring evolves in a full moon night." Terran said before pulling out a Razor Fang and a Peat Block, then turned to see his Galarian Yamask. "And as for the Galarian Yamask, he must lose 49 healthpoints and pass below the Dusty Bowl."

"With the Galarian Linoone, I just have to wait until the night to evolve him into Obstagoon." Blake P said as he watched his Galarian Linoone.

"I managed to find this Ice Stone for my Alolan Sandshrew." Alban said before pulling out an Ice Stone.

"I managed to find this Sun Stone when I was in the Paldea region for Cottonee." Keith M said while pulling out his Sun Stone.

"And I found this Thunder Stone in the Paldea region for Tadbulb." Jupiter said.

Then they gave said items to their Pokémon, Magmar evolved to Magmortar, Vulpix to Ninetales, Growlithe to Arcanine, Pansear to Simisear, Alolan Sandshrew to Sandslash, Cottonee to Whimsiscott and Tadbulb to a Pokémon who is based from a poisonous frog with fake eyes on the back but mixed with a plasma globe and a dynamo who is called Belibolt.

"Now let's wait until the night." Blake P said.

"And at the same time we could train a bit too." Tetsu said.

"Amaura will be able to evolve until the night."

The group followed the Elemental 10, Pokémon Trainers, Sphere Warriors and Aether Team.

Veilstone City

The shiny Mew was taking flight above the treetops but suddenly a Thunder was fired from nowhere going towards the shiny Mew who managed to dodge the attack.

"Mew, come here!" Caleb called him and his shiny Mew came back.

But then an Electivire came out.

"Is that Electivire?" Leaf asked.

"Yeah, but mine is in his Pokéball." Gary replied.

"Mew?" Shiny Mew wondered as the Electivire looked at the group.

"Pika?" Pikachu wondered.

"Pichu?" Shiny Pichu wondered too.

Then a boy came out, he had purple hair that had one big strand hanging over the middle of his face, small dark eyes, wearing a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, a blue undershirt, dark purple pants and purple and navy sneakers with white soles, the same trainer who challenged Maylene and Ash's rival from the Sinnoh region, Paul.

"Is that your Mew?" Paul asked Ash.

"Technically it's mine." Caleb seriously replied.

"Hey, it's Paul." Ash said, recognizing him.

"That boy seems like Bakugo." Kirishima said.

"Or Shadow." Knuckles added.

"Even Kaiba." Joey said.

"Or Vegeta." Krillin added.

"The edgelord of Pokémon anime series." Aries commented.

"Pikachu." Ash's Pikachu greeted with confident smirk to Paul's Electivire.

"Electivire." Paul's Electivire greeted him back.

"I'm trying to wonder what he's doing here?" Tai asked, referring to Paul.

"Paul lives in Veilstone city." Brock answered.

"So, what was your idea of attacking my Mew?" Caleb seriously asked.

"Only I was testing his reflexes." Paul replied.

"Hey, Ash? Guys? You know that guy?" Takato asked.

"You bet we do. He was Ash's old main rival during our adventures with me and Brock in the Sinnoh region a long while back. Right Ash?" Dawn explained.

"Yeah. We go way back. When I traveled through Sinnoh he was a rival I battled a bunch of times. He's a trainer who is named Paul." Ash explained.

"Although he was a bit of a pain in the neck." Plucky commented.

Paul just looks stern causing the younger members to gasp startled, even Kibou hid behind Assana and Aria while Caleb stood protectively in front of Caeli.

"Paul is just a rival, not a villain so not to be scared of him. It's just his attitude." Aries told Kibou about Paul.

"He's always like that." Ash said.

"Unless I like his attitude." Seto said.

"Both stern and serious." Vector added.

"Pop." Caeli's Popplio got curious before approaching Paul's Electivire.

"Popplio, careful." Caeli told her.

"Chu." Shiny Pichu also joined to meet Paul's Electivire.

"Electivire." Paul's Electivire greeted both Pokémon.

Both Popplio and shiny Pichu greeted before cheering.

Caeli's Popplio inflated a balloon before tossing up into the air with Electivire catching it as shiny Pichu and Popplio applauded.

"Electivire, go keep them busy." Paul told him.

"Electivire." Paul's Electivire nodded.

Caleb seemed unsure for a while as Leo and Cancer noticed it.

"Is something wrong, Caleb?" Cancer asked by whispering.

"Yes, normally I feel like I don't trust Paul." Caleb answered by whispering.

"Why?" Leo asked.

"1,000 years ago, we met a trainer similar to him who was named Shinji, and used to catch Alpha Pokémon mainly and win battles even if sometimes means to injure the Pokémon of the other trainers." Caleb explained by whispering.

"Whoa, just like his Japanese's name counterpart." Aries said by whispering.

Later after the explanations and introductions, they were speaking while Paul's Electivire is playing with Caeli's Popplio and shiny Pichu, also in the Reggie's yard there are new Pokémon there like Zoroark, Grimmsnarl, Bewear, Pangoro and Palafin in a pond.

"Surely that battle about Ash versus Paul in Lake Acuity was really intense." Tetsu said.

"Ash trained harder and even used the right combination of moves to win that battle." Jupiter L said.

"I'm trying to wonder where you got those Pokémon?" Dawn asked Paul with curiosity.

"I got Grimmsnarl, Bewear and Pangoro in the Galar region while Palafin and Zoroark were in the Paldea region." Paul replied before adding. "However, the ability of Palafin is complicate to activate it."

"Did you try by switching in battle or using Flip Turn?" Aries asked Ash's rival.

"I didn't do that before, but I'll give it a try." Paul said.

"So, what are you doing here?" Ash asked.

"I heard about the Tag Tournament in the Sinnoh region, also the winner will have the chance to have a battle against Cynthia and the Pokémon Master Red." Paul answered.

"Red is my father… Unless from this universe…" Ash said.

"Seriously? You never told me about him." Paul said.

"Normally most of his time he is busy with his work of Pokémon Master." Tyson K said.

"Hey, I want to have a six vs six battle against you." Aidan offered to Paul.

"Huh?" Paul wondered, being a bit surprised since it was his first time meeting Aidan.

"I want to train before the tournament, also I want to face Cynthia." Aidan said.

"Very well, six vs six." Paul said, accepting Aidan's conditions.

"This is gonna be interesting." Aiden said.

"Raboot." Raboot nodded

Then the group is seeing Aidan ready to have his Pokémon battle against Paul as Brock is the referee, even Electivire finished playing to have his battle against Aidan's Pokémon team.

"The battle of Aidan versus Paul is going to start and begin!" Brock announced.

*BATTLE! ELITE FOUR (POKÉMON BRILLIANT DIAMOND AND SHINING PEARL)*

"Go Talonflame!" Aidan said before calling his own Talonflame.

"Honchkrow, stand by for the battle!" Paul said, calling his Honchkrow.

"Use Acrobatics and follow with Air Cutter!" Aidan instructed his Talonflame.

Talonflame disappeared in seconds before landing a hit against Honchkrow by using Acrobatics, Paul was surprised because he didn't expected for Aidan's Talonflame to come too fast that Honchkrow didn't have time to dodge and in the battle Talonflame used Air Cutter to hit Honchkrow.

"Gale Wings, just like my Talonflame." Calem said.

Now back there.

"Use Night Slash!" Paul commanded.

Honchkrow used Night Slash but Aidan was prepared for this.

"Block with Steel Wing and follow with Dual Wingbeat!" Aidan instructed and his Talonflame used Steel Wing to block before retaliating with Dual Wingbeat.

"Use Comeuppance!" Paul instructed his Honchkrow who charged dark energy before releasing it and hitting Talonflame.

"That was new…!" Dawn said, surprised.

"Now use Sky Attack!" Paul commanded and his Honchkrow charged a light blue aura around him.

"Stay there and dodge the attack with Acrobatics when I tell you." Aidan instructed and his Talonflame nodded, then they waited until Honchkrow came towards the Scorching Pokémon. "Now!"

Talonflame dodged and managed to dodge Honchkrow's attack which shocked Paul and Honchkrow.

"Now use Flame Charge and follow with Dual Wingbeat and Fire Blast!" Aidan instructed.

Then Aidan's Talonflame used Flame Charge before following with Dual Wingbeat which hit Honchkrow three times and finished by using Fire Blast which knocked out Honchkrow as he crashed in the ground with twirled eyes

"Honchkrow is unable to battle, Talonflame wins!" Brock announced and Paul called back his Honchkrow.

"Palafin, stand by for the battle!" Paul called his next Pokémon.

"Can you keep going?" Aidan asked his Talonflame and he nodded. "Alright, use Acrobatics."

"Use Aqua Jet and then Flip Turn." Paul instructed his Palafin.

Then the dolphin-like Pokémon used Aqua Jet which hit Talonflame and then Flip Turn which made Palafin to come back inside the Pokéball and then his own Gastrodon East Sea form came for the battle as Talonflame managed to use Acrobatics which hit the sea slug-like Pokémon but he didn't receive much damage.

"Use Aerial Ace!" Aidan said and his Talonflame used Aerial Ace.

"Use Body Slam and then use Hydro Pump!" Paul instructed his Gastrodon who jumped by using Body Slam which hit Talonflame and then used Hydro Pump which knocked out Talonflame which managed to beat Talonflame.

"Talonflame is unable to battle, Gastrodon wins!" Brock announced while Aidan called back his Talonflame.

"You did your best." Aidan told his Talonflame before preparing the next Pokémon. "Let's do this, Ninetales!"

Ninetales came out and activated Drought which brought a sunny day.

'Luckily Ninetales has the Heat Rock to increase the time of the sunny day.' Aidan said in his thoughts before calling back his Ninetales. "Now leave this battle to Arcanine!"

He called his Arcanine who released an intimidating growl which startled Paul's Gastrodon.

"Intimidate, in that case, Gastrodon, use Muddy Water!" Paul said before commanding his Gastrodon.

Gastrodon released a tidal wave of muddy water.

"Dodge it and use Extreme Speed and follow by using Solar Beam!" Aidan instructed his Arcanine who used Extreme Speed to hit many times at Gastrodon and used Solar Beam which managed to beat Paul's Gastrodon and Paul was surprised.

"Gastrodon is unable to battle, Arcanine wins!" Brock announced.

"Aidan made a clever strategy, he switched out his Ninetales to make his other Pokémon have advantage because his team are fire type pokemon." Clemont commented.

"Did you know that the Solar Beam can immediately be fired when there is a sunny day?" Aidan asked while smirking, Paul called back his Gastrodon.

"You got me by surprise." Paul admitted it.

"Wow I can't believe Aidan's Arcanine can easily defeat a Pokémon of Paul." Ash said, hadn't expected that Aidan's Arcanine can beat one of Paul's Pokémon easily.

"Good job Arcanine, seems like your speed is increasing." Aidan said and his Arcanine grunted softly meaning that he is proud of receiving a compliment from his trainer.

"Let's hope this works." Paul said before preparing his Palafin. "Palafin, stand by for the battle!"

Then Palafin came out in his Hero Form and Paul smirked.

"Use Extreme Speed!" Aidan said and Arcanine used Extreme Speed.

"Use Jet Punch!" Paul said and Palafin used Jet Punch.

Both Pokémon were clashing moves until they ended hitting at each other.

"Use Thunder Fang and follow with Fire Spin!" Aidan commanded.

Arcanine used Thunder Fang which was very effective against Palafin and then used Fire Spin, not effective but causing damage to the transformed dolphin-like Pokémon every turn.

"Use Aura Sphere!" Paul commanded and Palafin used Aura Sphere which hits Arcanine not giving him the time to dodge. "And now use Wave Crash!"

Palafin used Wave Crash which hits Arcanine while beating him too, however Palafin was damaged after using Wave Crash and also from the Fire Spin attack.

"Arcanine is unable to battle, Palafin wins!" Brock announced while Aidan is petting Arcanine who is feeling bad for losing.

"Don't feel bad, Arcanine, now take a great rest." Aidan said before calling back his Arcanine. "Back for action, Ninetales!"

Ninetales came out for the battle.

"Palafin, use Liquidation!" Paul commanded and Palafin used Liquidation by unleashing two blades in her two fists.

"Dodge it and use Extrasensory and follow by using Fire Blast!" Aidan instructed.

Then Ninetales dodged Palafin's attack before using Extrasensory and follow by using Fire Blast with both attacks hitting Palafin who then received damage from the Fire Spin before collapsing to the ground, beaten.

"Palafin is unable to battle, Ninetales wins!" Brock announced as Paul called back his Palafin.

He couldn't help but feel impressed because the Fire Elemental's team was able to beat two water type Pokémon who have the advantage against the fire type, however the battle is not over yet.

"Pangoro, stand by for the battle!" Paul said, calling his next Pokémon.

"Use Quick Attack and follow with Flamethrower." Aidan instructed and Ninetales used Quick Attack before following with Flamethrower.

"Use Power-Up Punch!" Paul commanded and Pangoro used Power-Up Punch to hit Ninetales but also increased the user's attack. "Now Earthquake!"

Pangoro slammed his fists to the ground to cause an earthquake which hit and knocked out Ninetales.

"Ninetales is unable to battle, Pangoro wins!" Brock announced while Aidan called back his Ninetales.

"It's your turn, Magmortar!" Aidan called his Magmortar.

"Use Night Slash!" Paul commanded and Pangoro used Night Slash going towards Aidan's Magmortar.

"Use Fire Punch and follow by using Thunder Punch and then Will-O-Wisp!" Aidan instructed.

Then Magmortar used Fire Punch with moves clashing at each other, in seconds Pangoro felt burns in contact with Magmortar but disappeared said burns, but then Magmortar used Thunder Punch which hit Pangoro and then used Will-O-Wisp which hit the hostile-looking panda-like Pokémon who growled in pain as he received the Will-O-Wisp move and then felt new burns and even felt damage from said burns.

"Now use Heat Crash!" Aidan commanded and Magmar covered himself in fire.

"Use Darkest Lariat!" Paul commanded and his Pangoro used the same attack as Incineroar.

Magmortar used Heat Crash while clashing against Pangoro's Darkest Lariat however Magmortar's Heat Crash is overpowering Pangoro's Darkest Lariat.

"The burns are decreasing Pangoro's attack." Paul said in realization as Magmortar hit Pangoro.

"Now use Lava Plume and follow with Heat Wave!" Aidan commanded.

Then Magmortar used Lava Plume and followed by using Heat Wave with both attacks hitting Pangoro who then felt damage from the burns before collapsing to the ground, beaten but also the sunny day disappeared.

"Pangoro is unable to battle, Magmortar wins!" Brock announced while Paul called back his beaten Pangoro.

"Torterra, stand by for the battle!" Paul called his own Torterra.

"I could bet Paul's Torterra could be stronger, even he doesn't look bothered to fight against a fire type Pokémon like Magmortar." Lucas (trainer) explained.

Now in the battle.

"Torterra, use Stone Edge!" Paul commanded and Torterra summoned sharpened stones like spearheads before launching them.

"Block with Focus Blast!" Aidan commanded and Magmortar used Focus Blast which blocked the Stone Edge causing a smoke explosion. "Now use Fire Spin and follow by using Flamethrower."

Magmortar used Fire Spin and Flamethrower, despite the two moves were effective, clearly Paul's Torterra was made for defense.

"Use Leaf Storm!" Paul instructed and his Torterra used Leaf Storm.

"Dodge it and follow by using double Fire Punch." Aidan instructed and Magmortar dodged the Leaf Storm attack before attacking with double Fire Punch.

"Use Giga Drain!" Paul said with a smirk and then Torterra summoned roots of green energy which started to drain Magmortar's energy. "Now use Hyper Beam!"

Torterra started to charge energy in his mouth.

"Magmortar, use Heat Crash!" Aidan said and Magmortar prepared to use Heat Crash.

Then Torterra fired a pinkish beam but Magmortar used his attack with both colliding into an explosion, but when the smoke cleared out Magmortar was knocked out while Torterra was standing up but damaged by the Fire Spin.

"Magmortar is unable to battle, Torterra wins!" Brock announced while Aidan called back his Magmortar and then prepared the next Pokémon.

"Let's go Simisear!" Aidan said, calling his next Pokémon. "Now use Flame Charge and follow by using Power-Up Punch!"

Simisear used Flame Charge and followed by using Power-Up Punch with moves hitting Torterra who didn't move due after using the Hyper Beam move and also was damaged by the Fire Spin.

"Use Earthquake!" Paul said and Torterra used Earthquake.

"Dodge it and use Power-Up Punch and follow with another Flame Charge and then use Low Kick!" Aidan instructed and Simisear dodged by jumping before using Power-Up Punch, Flame Charge and a Low Kick causing a great damage to Torterra who then felt damage from the Fire Spin again.

"Use Rock Polish and follow with High Horsepower!" Paul commanded and then Torterra used Rock Polish before using High Horsepower which managed to hit Simisear critically sending the fire ape-like Pokémon to the air, the tortoise-like Pokémon was damaged by Fire Spin again.

But suddenly Simisear was covered by a flaming aura but also was unleashed more flames and both Rainbow Hero and Fire Elemental recognized that move.

"He is using Blaze." Elio said, recognizing the ability.

"That move is Flare Blitz!" Both Ash and Aidan said as Paul just smirked, clearly enjoying the battle.

Then Simisear roared as he lunged himself towards Torterra who didn't have time to dodge as he received the Flare Blitz attack causing an explosion as Simisear landed but recoiled after using his new move and then they saw Torterra lying in the ground beaten.

"Torterra is unable to battle, Simisear wins!" Brock announced as Paul called back his Torterra.

"I didn't know Simisear can use Blaze too." Paul said before preparing his next Pokémon. "Electivire, stand by for the battle."

His Electivire came out from the Pokéball.

"Come back Simisear." Aidan said, calling back his Simisear before preparing his next Pokémon. "Luckily I saved the best for last. Now Infernape!"

Aidan's Infernape came out from his Pokéball.

"An Infernape." Paul said with interest as he remembered how Ash's Infernape was stronger but he doesn't know that Aidan's Infernape has a different ability in comparison to Ash's one. "Use Thunder Punch!"

Electivire charged while using Thunder Punch.

"Use Mach Punch and follow with Power-Up Punch!" Aidan instructed and Infernape used Mach Punch which came fast before Electivire could land a hit and then used Power-Up Punch.

"Use Thunder!" Paul commanded and his Electivire used Thunder.

"Block with Flamethrower!" Aidan said and his Infernape blocked the attack causing a smoke explosion. "Now use Dig."

Then Infernape dug to the ground as Electivire was waiting for Aidan's Infernape to come out.

"Use Power-Up Punch and follow with Fire Punch!" Aidan said.

Then Aidan's Infernape came out landing a Power-Up Punch and followed by using Fire Punch.

"You didn't expect this combo." Aidan told his opponent before commanding his Pokémon. "Use Nasty Plot and then Overheat."

Then Infernape's face turned something had a scheme then orange aura rose up after that he all might summoned a fire pillar to Paul's Electivire.

"Use Wild Charge and follow with Thunder Punch!" Paul instructed and Electivire nodded before using Wild Charge and Thunder Punch with both moves hitting Aidan's Infernape but not enough to bring him down.

"First Ash copied Paul's countershield technique, now Paul copied Aidan's combo fighting style." Yakko commented.

"Use Swords Dance and then use Blaze Kick!" Aidan commanded and then Infernape used Swords Dance before coming out with Blaze Kick.

"Dodge it and grab Infernape!" Paul instructed.

Electivire nodded before dodging Infernape's Blaze Kick and then used his twin tails to grab Aidan's Infernape, but Aidan smirked knowing that he wanted the Blaze Kick move to fail and use his next move.

"Infernape, use Temper Flare!" Aidan said.

"Temper Flare!?" Paul asked in surprise.

Then Infernape's forehead has cross vein marks before roaring as the flames surrounded him which forced Paul's Electivire to release him and then Aidan's Infernape lunged himself while hitting Electivire and caused another smoke explosion.

*ENDS*

When the smoke cleared out, Electivire was barely standing until he collapsed to the ground tired.

"Electivire is unable to battle, Infernape wins, meaning that Aidan wins the battle!" Brock announced.

The Elemental 10 along with Aidan's siblings and cousins cheered for him.

"That was the most epic battle of the fire type!" Kiawe said with passion while Paul called back his beaten Electivire.

"Wow, that's a wild ride isn't it Infernape?" Aidan said to his Infernape

"Why is your Infernape stronger than Ash's one?" Paul asked Aidan.

"Simple, my Infernape is my partner so he's very strong, thanks to his Iron Fist's ability." Aidan replied, making Paul shocked but then he smirked.

"It was indeed a spectacular battle." Paul said. "Good luck in the Tag Tournament."

"Thanks." Aidan said, offering a handshake which Paul took.

Forest

After that battle, Paul took a different path while the other heroes resumed, now the Pokémon Trainers in the group are planning themselves their own skills, knowing that Aidan's Pokémon is stronger, however the night was here and luckily there is full moon.

"Okay, here." Terran said, showing the Peat Block to his Ursaring who nodded before touching the Peat Block and then evolved to Ursaluna. "Congratulations, now you're Ursaluna."

"Ursa." Ursaluna said with a smile to the compliment.

"Teddiursa." Teddiursa said, approaching Ursaluna.

"Ursa." Ursaluna said before nuzzling Teddiursa who couldn't help but giggle at the nuzzling.

Some of the members couldn't help but smile, noticing said scene so tender.

"Now Gligar, grab this." Terran said, showing the Razor Fang to Gligar.

"Gligar." Gligar said before touching the Razor Fang and then evolved to Gliscor. "Gliscor!"

"Now only Yamask remains." Terran said.

Just then they heard a bike as they saw a Pokémon Hunter bringing a Pokémon similar to Manaphy inside a cage.

"That was a Phione." Dawn said, recognizing said Pokémon.

"I will use a drone." Aquarius said before using a drone to follow the Pokémon Hunter without being detected.

The drone kept following said Pokémon Hunter until it spotted some Team Rocket grunts who have cages with Pokémon inside like Bagon, Litleo, Bunnelby, a shiny Buneary, Vulpix, a shiny Kingdra, a Golett, a Chimchar, a shiny Phanpy, a Fidough, a Hisuian Zorua, Cubchoo, Elekid, Flamigo, a shiny Litten and a pink Snivy and the same hunter brought the captured Phione to them.

"Well, we managed to get Litleo, Bunnelby, Golett and Cubchoo from the Kalos region." A Team Rocket member said.

"The Fidough and Flamigo were got from the Paldea region while the shiny Litten is from the Terrarium Dome, and as for pink Snivy from the Pink Island." A second Team Rocket member said.

"As for Bagon, the shiny Buneary, Vulpix, Chimchar, the shiny Phanpy, Elekid, even the Hisuian Zorua, the shiny Kingdra and Phione were got here in the Sinnoh region." The third Team Rocket member said.

"So, where is my money?" The Pokémon Hunter asked.

"Here, courtesy of Montana Max." A female Team Rocket member said before showing a bag of money for the Pokémon.

"Thanks." The Pokémon Hunter said.

"This is weird, there was a shiny Treecko here for a second." One of the Team Rocket members said.

"Surely that Treecko must be a troublemaker." The female Team Rocket member said.

"That meddling brat with his Pikachu and his meddling friends are always the troublemakers for interfering into our business." The first Team Rocket member said, referring to Ash and the others Pokémon Trainers.

Unaware to them, the blue green Treecko with the red tail was hiding into the cages while having a smug smirk on his face before jumping and using Seed Bomb which caught the Pokémon Hunter and Team Rocket members by surprise.

"Gosh darn it!" The first Team Rocket member said.

"Let's catch him!" The second Team Rocket member said.

"If I catch him for you four, I'll get more money!" The Pokémon Hunter said before calling his Tentacruel. "Use Acid Bomb!"

The foe Tentacruel sprayed goops of yellow acid liquid but Treecko managed to dodge them and then used Thunder Punch which hit Tentacruel.

"Treecko won't escape from us!" The third Team Rocket member said before he and the other Team Rocket members called Houndoom, Beedrill, Weavile and Fearow waiting to catch the shiny Treecko easily.

Houndoom used Flamethrower but the shiny Treecko dodged Brick Break against the doberman-like Pokémon, Beedrill used X-Scissor but the shiny Treecko dodged again before using Acrobatics against the bee-like Pokémon, the foe Weavile used Ice Punch but the shiny Treecko used Quick Attack and followed by using Brick Break and lastly Fearow used Drill Peck but the shiny Treecko dodged by jumping and then used Rock Slide against Fearow before running away.

"Don't let him escape!" The first Team Rocket member ordered before chasing the shiny Treecko.

Now back with the group.

"More Team Rocket members…!" Ash growled under his breath.

"And now they have a Pokémon Hunter hired." Sora added.

"What a bad man." Bonnie bitterly said, referring to the Pokémon Hunter.

"Pokémon Hunters only want one thing, to make money stealing Pokémon." Gary replied seriously.

"I really hate Pokémon Hunters!" TK angrily but calmly said.

"I think those Pokémon Hunters are more trouble than they're worth." Mimi added, disgustingly.

"Yeah." Palmon said in agreement with her.

"We faced many Pokémon Hunters before, and we really hate them." Sagittarius bitterly said as Barrow nodded in agreement.

"Surely they sound like poachers." Jupiter L bitterly added.

"Luckily that Treecko gave them a huge piece of their minds." Mallow said.

"That Treecko reminds me a lot of me." Sonic said with a smirk while rubbing his nose.

Just then the shiny Treecko managed to arrive with the group, but the shiny Treecko broke in time not wanting to crash with the group.

"Hey there." The known shiny Treecko greeted the wild one who was surprised after hearing speak human language.

But suddenly the group of five baddies arrived and then the foe Tentacruel used Sludge Bomb going towards the group but Killua used Lightning Kick which blocked the poisonous attack.

"What!?" The Pokémon Hunter exclaimed.

"Maybe you don't know one thing about me, but I'm immune to poison." Killua said.

Then the Team Rocket members recognized the group.

"The heroes are here, even that troublemaker boy with his Pikachu, even the rest of their friends and even those Villain Hunters!" The first Team Rocket member growled at his sight.

"I'll forget the shiny Treecko because I'll catch that shiny Mew." The Pokémon Hunter greedily said.

"In your dreams!" Caleb said before commanding his Mew. "Mew, use Psychic on Tentacruel and send him to the Pokémon Hunter."

"Mew!" Shiny Mew used Psychic on Tentacruel before slamming it against the Pokémon Hunter with both of them knocked out.

"Very well, we know what to do." The female Team Rocket member said.

The foes Houndoom, Beedrill, Weavile and Fearow.

"We got this!" Alban said and then his Amaura evolved into Auroros.

"This is our chance, Linoone!" Blake P said and then his Linoone evolved into an anthropomorphic version of himself. "Alright, Obstagoon!"

"You two know what to do!" Terran told his Ursaluna and Gliscor.

"Ursa!/Gliscor!" Both ground type Pokémon nodded.

Houndoom tried to use Fire Fang but Ursaluna used High Horsepower against the fire doberman-like Pokémon, Auroros used Ancient Power against Beedrill who tried to use X-Scissor but it didn't work, Obstagoon used Brick Break against Weavile and Gliscor used Thunder Fang against Fearow and the four of them were knocked out.

"My turn!" Twilight said before using her magic which snatched the Pokéballs from the Team Rocket grunts and Pokémon Hunter's hands.

"Let's crush them!" Jeri said, referring to the Pokéballs.

Then Sunset used her magic to levitate a boulder which crushed the five Pokéballs, then the five Pokémon blinked and shrugged before taking separate ways.

"Hey, come back here!" The Team Rocket members called their Pokémon but they ignored the members.

Then Barrow used a rope which tied the four Team Rocket members and Pokémon Hunter included.

"Now let's go to rescue those Pokémon." Jimmy said and they nodded.

The group then went to the cages where they saw the captive Pokémon.

"Okay, now let's open those cages." Sora said.

"Osha." Sora's Oshawott said, watching the pink Snivy inside the cage.

"Snivy…" Pink Snivy said.

"I didn't think it could be so quiet here." Phineas said.

"Because it's a trap." A voice said.

Then they turned to see Matori with the Alolan Meowth and also a particular Team Rocket member and they had Rocket Androids, but also Heartless like brown one that resemble wooly mammoths with long tusks and yellow eyes called Mad Mammoth, large silver ones resembling dragons with spiked spins on it from its head down to its tail and large wings who are called Silver Dragon, armadillos-like Heartless with rubies on their foreheads with large claws, cyan underbellies and yellow eyes who are called Wreckadillo, green seahorses-like Heartless who curly tails and yellow eyes called Emblem Seahorses, large centipedes-like Heartless with large mandibles, purple bodies, yellow legs and yellow eyes called Centible, brown walruses-like Heartless that have horns on their foreheads called Uni-Walrus, red one-eyed pterodactyls-like Heartless with pointed beaks and a single yellow eye called Cyclodactyl, and ammonites-like Heartless with yellow eyes and brown tentacles called Octoshell, all of them are Emblem Heartless.

"Just what we needed, new Heartless species we didn't see before." Aries said.

"Very clever by taking care of four of our men, however we had these troops ready in case that you all manage to take down our Team Rocket grunts." Matori said.

"I know what you are planning to do with those Pokémon, and we won't let you get away with it." Ash told Matori.

"Technically we do that, so, why don't you give up and go home?" Matori asked with a half mocking tone.

"In your dreams!" Sor told her.

"Gozu, take care of them." Matori told the Team Rocket member who nodded.

*BATTLE! WILD POKÉMON DIAMOND AND PEARL (SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL REMIX)*

"Very well." Gozu said before calling his own Aggron and also pulling out a necklace with a Key Stone attached to it. "Show your loyalty to Team Rocket, Mega Evolve!"

Then Gozu's Aggron became Mega Aggron.

"Oh boy…" Tetsu said with annoyment, seeing one of the bad guys using the Mega Evolution. "Maybe my Aggron could give him a lesson…!"

"Char…!" Charmeleon said as he went to face Mega Aggron.

"Wait, let Cyrus' Charmeleon take care of the foe Mega Aggron!" Aidan told him as his little brother Cyrus nodded.

"Okay." Tetsu nodded.

"Let me and Raboot help you." Aiden told him and Cyrus A nodded with a timid smile.

"The Alolan Meowth is mine!" Gatomon said as she was preparing her claws.

"Androids, restrain those brats!" Matori ordered the Rocket Androids.

"Restrain those brats! Restrain those brats! Restrain those brats!" Rocket Androids said in the monotone voice.

"I'll show those Alpha Droid copies who rule!" Doctor Z said as he prepared the Alpha Scanner with Terry's card. "Alpha Slash!"

Then Terry appeared in his adult form and he swung his tail hitting a lot of Rocket Androids, the rest of the team used their regular attacks against the rest of the enemies, Gatomon was fighting against the Alolan Meowth. While the group is fighting, Virgo along with Sora and Kairi close the cages to release those Pokémon.

"Man, now there's no keyholes in those cages." Sora said, noticing that there is a new type of lock in the cages.

"Virgo, you fixed the GUN helicarrier previously, now unlock those cages." Kairi told her.

"Okay." Virgo nodded and then she used her mini-laptop which unlocked the cages easily.

Suddenly a Centible tried to attack the pink Snivy who yelped in fear but Sora's Oshawott quickly used Sacred Sword which destroyed the Centible Heartless.

"Oshawott!" Sora's Oshawott said with confidence.

"Sni…" Pink Snivy couldn't help but blush at her sight, seeing her saver.

The former captives Pokémon cheered for their savers who released them and back in the battle, Assana's Marill evolved to Azumarill before using Aqua Tail, Hydro Pump, Play Rough and Ice Beam, also her Quaxwell evolved to Quaquaval who learned to use Aqua Step and then followed by using Low Sweep, Ice Spinner and Acrobatics, Skye's Pidgeotto evolved to Pidgeot before using Feather Dance to decrease their attack and then attacked by using Swift and Hurricane, Terran's Krokorok evolved to Krookodile who attacked by using Throat Chop and Earthquake, Aaron's Hattrem evolved to Hatterene who attacked by using Psycho Cut, Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire, Duosion evolved to Reuniclus who attacked by using Psychic Noise, Flash Cannon and Psyshock, Blake P's Pupitar evolved to Tyranitar who used Dragon Dance before attacking with Breaking Swipe, Smack Down and Knock Off, Morgrem evolved to Grimmsnarl who then used Thunder Wave to paralyze the enemies and followed by attacking with False Surrender, Spirit Break and Darkest Lariat, Alban's Arctibax evolved to Baxcalibur before using Dragon Dance and attacked by using Icicle Crash, Ice Fang and Icicle Spear, Keith M's Floragato evolved to Meowscarada who then used Flower Trick and Night Slash, Twackey evolved to Rillaboom who attacked by using who used Drum Beating and Grassy Glide and Krisi's Vanillish evolved to Vanilluxe who used Icy Wind and followed by using Blizzard, now in the battle against Mega Aggron.

"Aggron, use Flash Cannon!" Gozu ordered.

Mega Aggron used Flash Cannon going towards Raboot and Charmeleon but they dodged.

"Raboot, use Flame Charge and follow by using Double Kick and Blaze Kick!" Aiden commanded.

"Charmeleon, use Rock Smash and follow by using Fire Fang and Flamethrower!" Cyrus A commanded.

Then both Raboot and Charmeleon dashed before hitting the foe Mega Aggron with both super effective moves, then Charmeleon bite with fire while Raboot used his two legs to double kick the foe Mega Aggron and ended by Charmeleon launching fire from his mouth while Raboot performed a flaming kick against the Mega Evolved Pokémon, however the combo attacks weren't enough to bring him down.

"Use Iron Tail!" Gozu ordered and Mega Aggron used Iron Tail which hit both fire type Pokémon, despite it wasn't effective against both fire type Pokémon it caused great damage to them but not enough to bring them down.

"How Mega Aggron is still fighting?" Cyrus A asked.

"I'll tell you why, kid. My Aggron not only has more battle experience, his ability when Mega Evolves is Filter which decreases the power of the super effective moves." Gozu explained.

"Surely that Aggron is stronger, but we won't give up that easily." Aiden said.

And after saying those words, Raboot and Charmeleon started to evolve.

"Huh?" Gozu wondered.

"They are evolving!" Cyrus A said.

Then Aiden's Raboot evolved to Cinderace while Cyrus A's Charmeleon evolved to Charizard.

"Both of them evolved." Takuya as Agunimon said.

"Wow!" The Elemental 10 plus Adler children said with amazement.

"Evolution? You'll need more to take down Mega Aggron." Gozu said before ordering. "Use Stone Edge!"

Mega Aggron roared before using Stone Edge.

"Dodge it!" Aiden and Cyrus said and then both of their Pokémon dodged the enemy attack.

"Use Scorching Sands!/Heat Wave!" Aiden and Cyrus commanded.

Then Aiden's Cynderace launched a sphere of burning sands while Cyrus A's Charizard unleashed a fiery wind with both attacks forming a fiery sand comet which hit Mega Aggron causing burns to him.

"What…!?" Gozu exclaimed at his sight.

"Now use Pyro Ball!/Fire Blast!" Aiden and Cyrus commanded.

Then Aiden's Cinderace launched a fireball like a soccer ball while Cyrus A's Charizard launched a kanji of fire and then both attacks hit the foe Mega Aggron and finished him off too.

*ENDS*

Mega Aggron grunted in pain before returning back to his regular form, also the Alolan Meowth was beaten like the enemy troops too, then Gozu called back his fallen Aggron while the ones transformed reverted to their regular forms.

"We must retreat! They are so powerful!" Matori told Gozu.

"Very well, but I won't forget this battle." Gozu said before tossing a smoke bomb which allowed him and Matori with the Alolan Meowth to escape.

"They got away…!" Ash said indignantly because two members of Team Rocket escaped.

"But we saved those Pokémon too, it really matters now." Sor reassuringly told him.

"Thank you." Ash, who had calmed down, told her.

Then the group went to check the former captives Pokémon.

"Hi." Takato greeted Bagon.

"Bagon." Bagon said happily before jumping into Takato barely taking him down to the ground.

"Hey…!" Takato laughed.

"Bagon likes Takato." Guilmon said.

"Hello, little one." Jeri greeted Litleo.

"Litleo…" Litleo said before nuzzling Jeri's right leg.

"You're so cute." Jeri said before petting Litleo.

"I never wonder to meet another Pokémon with long ears." Terriermon said as he lifted his ears while meeting the wild Bunnelby.

"That one is so cute." Suzy said, hugging the shiny Buneary.

"Vul…" The wild Vulpix said, approaching Rika.

"Hi there." Rika said, greeting and petting the wild Vulpix.

"Wasn't Kingdra blue?" Ryo asked, a bit confused.

"That one is a shiny Pokémon." Gary answered.

"Kingdra." The shiny Kingdra said, approaching Ryo.

"Looks like the shiny Kingdra already chose you." Leaf said.

"Hey there." Kazu said, offering a fist bump to Golett.

"Golett." Golett said, accepting the fist bump with Kazu.

"This little one seems like MarineAngemon but more nicer than Cthyllamon." Kenta said while holding MarineAngemon in his arms.

"Phione…" Phione said before jumping to Kenta's arms, now enjoying the company of Kenta and his Digimon partner lookalike of Phione.

"Chimchar." The wild Chimchar said before jumping to Takuya's head.

"I think I'll have a Chimchar in the same way as Aidan." Takuya said.

"I want this one." Shinya said while holding the shiny Phanpy.

"Phanpy." The shiny Phanpy said.

"Dough." Fidough said, nuzzling Koji's right leg.

"Hi." Koji said before petting Fidough.

"This Zorua looks different from the one of Blake." Koichi said.

"It's a Zorua Hisuian form, from normal and ghost type." Sagittarius said.

"Cubchoo." The wild Cubchoo said, being close to Tommy.

"You reminded me a lot of Kumamon." Tommy said as he patted Cubchoo.

"I think we could make a great team." JP told the wild Elekid.

"Elekid." Elekid said in agreement.

"I like this one." Zoe O said, seeing Flamigo.

"That one is Flamigo, the synchronize Pokémon from flying and fighting type, it can use Double Kick, Mega Kick, Air Slash and Air Cutter." Skye said as she scanned Flamigo with her Multiversal Phone.

"Then that makes Flamigo amazing." Zoe O said.

"Lit." The shiny Litten said before nuzzling close to Riku and purred.

"Hi little guy." Riku said before petting the shiny Litten.

"Treecko." The wild shiny Treecko said before leaning close to Chris T.

"I guess that you, Veemon and Sonic share the same personality." Chris T said, liking the shiny Treecko.

"Snivy." Pink Snivy said before kissing Sora's Oshawott.

"Oshawott…" Sora's Oshawott said while blushing, Kairi couldn't help but giggle.

"Looks like your Oshawott got her special Pokémon." She said.

"Yeah, it's true." Sora said in agreement with her.

"Pop." Caeli's Popplio said with sparkling eyes close to Rei's Oshawott.

"Oshawott…" Rei's Oshawott replied with a slight smile, starting to like her company.

"Okay, knowing that these Pokémon already chose you, it's time you catch them." Sagittarius said before giving Pokéballs to the Chris T, Riku, Kairi, Tamers and Legendary Warriors.

They grabbed the Pokéballs to catch the Pokémon and later the patrol arrived to arrest the four Team Rocket members and the hired Pokémon Hunter.

"I was already going to be rich after hunting those Pokémon, even that shiny Mew and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" The Pokémon Hunter told the Pokémon Trainers along with Aether Team, Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10.

"Hmph, crime never pays." Normal said.

"That serves you right." Naomi added.

"Have a nice life in prison." Nathan S told the Pokémon Hunter who was put in the patrol.

"I think that tonight I want to sleep in the Kanto region." Ash said.

"I understand." Caleb said, understanding his nostalgia.

---

Kanto Region: Route 2

The group managed to arrive in the Kanto region where the tents were put.

"Your little brother is so cute that I want to eat him with kisses." Shinobu said as she was tickling Kibou who was laughing at the tickles caused by the Insect Pillar.

"We would like to stay here for a while, but right now we must go back to the Taisho Period." Kanae said.

"We need to defend the people from the demons, but we'll be back in the morning." Rengoku said.

"Also go on a mission with Sanemi." Skye said with a teasing tone to Kanae who smiled in agreement.

"Okay, we wish good luck." Aidan said with the same enthusiasm as Rengoku.

The three pillars nodded before teleporting themselves back to the Taisho Period, then the group went to sleep, minus the gargoyles, Demon Slayers and Darkstalkers, two hours passed and then an aurora borealis was in the sky.

"What is that?" Sammy asked.

"It's an aurora borealis, the northern lights." Cody answered.

"This is weird, that happened before going to the Digital World." Izzy said.

"Well, in that case we must be aware." Leo said.

Just then seven shooting stars-like figures appear falling down like meteorites which crashed in the ground.

"I wonder what it could be?" Ash wondered and in his case an emerald-colored crest inside a tag and said crest has a vertical rhombus with two isosceles triangles horizontally almost forming a bow and four small triangles in diagonal position and Ash. "It's that my crest…" Ash said and then he heard something cracking as he saw a Digi-Egg in the ground.

Said egg started to crack and then hatched a purple four-legged furred creature with white paws, mouth and yellow eyes.

"Hi Ash." The purple furred Digimon greeted him.

"Wow, you know my name!" Ash said with a surprised tone.

"My name is Dorimon." Dorimon introduced himself.

Now with Gary who was surprised, he received a dark yellow D3 and also a tag with a yellow lightning-colored crest which has a spark-like star form with a circle in the middle and then the Digi-Egg close to Gary hatched too and revealed a yellow serpent-like creature with four small limbs and green eyes.

"Okay, this is new." Gary said.

"Gary is your name?" The yellow serpent-like Digimon asked and Gary nodded. "My name is Kyokyomon."

Close to Sammy, he received a white blueish D3 and has a crest of the same color and the shape has 3 scales united and as for the Digi-Egg, it hatched a white Koromon with light blue eyes.

"Hello Sammy." The white Koromon greeted him.

"Wow, my Digimon partner." Sammy said before grabbing the white Koromon.

"I'm Koromon." White Koromon introduced himself.

Close to Leyla, she received a mint-colored D3 with a tag which has a crest which has the symbol of the pentagon with a small circle inside of it and said circle has a x, then the Digi-Egg hatched which came out a blue puppy-like Digimon, has dark blue fur with white fur in the mouth and tip of his tail and red eyes.

"Hi Leyla, I'm Bowmon." Bowmon introduced himself as he was moving his tail like a dog.

"Oh, you're so cute." Leyla cooed before cuddling Bowmon.

With Abelyn, she received a lime-colored D3 with a tag which has a crest with the symbol of small ring with six small trapezoids around the said ring and then her Digi-Egg hatched which came out a Tanemon.

"Hi." Abelyn said with fascination while grabbing her Tanemon.

"Hi Abelyn, I'm Tanemon." Tanemon introduced herself.

With Rei, he received an indigo-colored D3, a tag with an indigo crest which has the symbol of a six-pointed star with a circle in middle and then his Digi-Egg hatched which came out a baby hedgehog-like Digimon with gray fur, white tummy, teal eyes and yellow spikes.

"Wow!" Rei said with amazement before asking. "Are you my Digimon partner?"

"Yeah, that's me, Rei, my name is Pusurimon." Pusurimon introduced himself.

And now with Ila, she received a white D3 with, a tag with the crest which has five spheres barely forming a pentagon and small circle in the middle and then her Digi-Egg hatched which came out a silver oval creature with brown eyes, a mouth, a fang that is exposed even with the mouth shut, small legs, and two golden sword-like horns on the sides of the head.

"I finally meet you, Ila." The silver Digimon said before introducing himself. "My name is Sakuttomon."

"New Digimon, new crests." Tai said with amazement.

"Now those crests must have a meaning." Sor said.

"Your own will is what makes you strong." A mysterious voice said to Ash.

"My crest is will." Ash said.

"It makes sense because you were chosen by Azelf." Dawn said.

"Piplup." Dawn's Piplup said.

"Your cleverness is the key to victory." The same mysterious voice told Gary.

"Cleverness, it makes sense because I caught many Pokémon and I vary my battle styles." Gary said in realization.

"You count with loyalty, for your family and friends." The mysterious voice told Rei.

"Loyalty." Rei said with confidence.

"Your mind is as full of creativity as your special talent." The mysterious voice told Ila.

"Creativity." Ila said as she put her magic staff behind her back, opting for an innocent posture.

"Show good intentions with your modesty." The mysterious voice told Sammy.

"Modesty." Sammy said.

"Caring for people, especially for family and friends." The mysterious voice told Leyla.

"Caring." Leyla said, putting her holding her tag in her hand resting in her chest.

"Patience is the key for everything." The mysterious voice told Abelyn.

"Patience." Abelyn said.

"I see." Aidan said.

"Modesty and loyalty have Water Elemental Virtue." Assana said.

"Caring and patience have Wood Elemental Virtue." Keith M said.

"Cleverness has Thunder Elemental Virtue." Jupiter L said.

"Will has Metal Elemental Virtue." Tetsu said.

"And as for creativity is a Multi-Elemental Virtue which is extremely rare." Blake P said.

"Oh my…" Ila said, watching her crest. "Sounds amazing."

"Now it's time to create weapons for you two." Assana told Sammy and Abelyn.

"Me and Jupiter have something to tell you." Aries told Gary and the aries warrior with Thunder Elemental whispered into Oak's grandson in the ear and then nodded in agreement.

Then after waiting, two twin blue shark-themed boomerangs and a glowing green-wooden pattern bojutsu staff were created.

"Here, twin boomerangs for Sammy and bo-staff for Abelyn." Keith said, give twin boomerangs to Sammy and bo-staff for Abelyn.

"I wonder how these works." Sammy said.

"We better wait until tomorrow." Leyla told her little brother.

"Okay." Sammy nodded in understanding.

Then the group went to sleep and at the next day the group woke up, however the shiny Pichu, the Pikachu of Ash and Tyson, Volt, Raichu and Alolan Raichu weren't there.

"Pikachu? Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"My Pikachu disappeared too." Tyson K. said.

"Volt was here in the night, and now he is not here." Chase said.

"Raichu too." Brendan said.

"Even my Raichu." Elio said.

"Pichu! Pichu! Pichu!" Kibou called for his shiny Pichu, but then the Digidestined of Faith started to cry.

"Oh no, no no no, Kibou, don't cry." Aria said worryingly as she bent to Kibou's level to hug him.

"Now now Kibou. There's no need to cry, we will find your Pichu." Assana said, comforting Kibou.

"Don't worry, we will help you to find your Pichu and the others." Fluttershy said with a motherly smile as Kibou sniffled.

"Thank you…" Kibou said with a tearful smile.

"Everything is going to be fine." Jiminy said before pulling out a tissue for the Digidestined of Faith. "Here blow."

Then Kibou blew his nose into the tissue.

"Atta boy." Jiminy told him.

"3 Pikachu, 2 Raichu from different regional forms and one shiny Pichu." Sara said, counting the disappeared. "It couldn't be a coincidence."

"The one who stole Kibou's Pichu is going to pay." Seth said.

"I know where they went?" A voice from a voice said.

Then they turned to see a boy with dark blue hair and light blue eyes, wearing light brown shorts, light yellow shirt and brown shoes standing in front of them.

"Sunny." Aries said, recognizing the boy.

"What?" Sunny Starscout asked.

"That's the name of the boy." Aries specified.

"Oh, I didn't know Sunny's name was used for boys too." Sunny Starscout said.

"The same I say with Izzy's name." Izzy Moonbow added.

"How do you know my name?" The boy named Sunny asked.

"Long story." Aries said and Sunny nodded in understanding.

"Are you looking for Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu?" He asked the group.

Then Ash, Tyson K, Chase, Brendan, Elio and Kibou nodded before following Sunny.

"How do you know?" Kibou asked.

"I have seen them last night, weird people with weird clothes, also a boy in company of a rodent Pokémon, a spherical bat-like Pokémon, a black fat feline Pokémon, a weird looking Poliwhirl and a Gengar too." Sunny answered.

"Weird people in weird clothes?" Ash wondered.

"A boy?" Buster asked.

"A rodent Pokémon." Hamtaro wondered.

"A spherical bat?" Patamon added.

"A black fat feline Pokémon?" Goofy wondered.

"A weird looking Poliwhirl?" Keroro added.

"And a Gengar." Shiny Squirtle said.

Now speaking of said descriptions, the ones who stole Pikachu evolution line were Team Rocket Trio and Team Monty with them having the electric type Pokémon captured into electricity-proof containers.

"The catch is refreshed." Jessie said.

"The Pikachu's evolution line in our hands." Meowth said.

"Now let's celebrate with a big feast." James said.

"A feast of exquisite food." Pete said.

Then the two villain groups were having waffles for breakfast.

"Waffles, breakfast for winners." Montana Max said as he and the baddies were eating their waffles.

Unaware for them, the group of heroes arrived.

"There they are…!" Sunny seriously said.

"Team Rocket…!" Ash said.

"And Team Monty too…!" Tai added.

Then Rengoku, Shinobu and Kanae appeared to see the group.

"Breakfast for winners, I would mean breakfast for cheaters." Lotus said bitterly.

"We came here as early as we could." Rengoku said.

"We did miss something." Kanae said.

"Team Rocket and Team Monty stole Pikachu's evolution line, even Kibou's Pichu." Aria seriously answered and Shinobu nodded seriously, clearly understanding the situation.

But then Ash along with Chase jumped to face Team Rocket, even Brendan and Kibou, Seth and Elio joined in.

"Alright, give back Pikachu right now!" Ash told the baddies.

"The same goes with Raichu!" Brendan added.

"And the Pichu of my little brother!" Seth said as he was pointing his Keyblade at them.

"Pika-Pi." Ash's Pikachu said before using Thunderbolt but nothing happened.

"Pika?" Volt wondered before using Thunderbolt but it happened the same.

"Rai…!" Even Brendan's Raichu did the same but his Thunderbolt wasn't working being trapped in the electricity-proof cage.

"Rai…!?" Also Alolan Raichu used Thunderbolt but the attack didn't work.

"Pi…!" Shiny Pichu said as he tried to use Thunder Shock and also nothing happened.

"Hehehehe, those are full electricity-proof cages." Meowth said.

"Without this key you won't be able to escape." Jessie said as she showed the key.

"Now it's time to start the day." James said as they prepared to say the motto.

"It's motto time!" DemiDevimon said.

"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie said.

"And make it double!" James said.

"To protect the world from devastation!" Spat said.

"To unite all people within our nation…!" Garuru said.

"Let them say their motto while we try to rescue…" Aria whispered to the Elemental 10

But suddenly Jupiter used his thunder power to break the cage as the Pikachu evolution line came around him.

"Sometimes I see you guys use cowardly plans because you take advantage of Team Rocket say their motto." Aidan said.

"Oh man…!" Aria pouted before adding. "I just wanted to have a new plan."

"You'll have your chance later." Assana told her reassuringly.

"Unless we have our Pokémon back." Elio said as his Alolan Raichu came back just like that rest of Pikachu's evolution line.

"Pichu!" Kibou said with tears of joy in his eyes while hugging his shiny Pichu.

However, Team Rocket is shocked because they use electric-proof artifacts to avoid Pikachu from escaping from their hands.

"Impossible!" Team Rocket Trio exclaimed in shock.

"Our gadgets are supposed to be proof against all kinds of electricity!" James exclaimed in disbelief.

"Do you know about breakdown voltage? That is because I supercharge my electric to make any electric-proof device that can conduct electricity." Jupiter explained.

"Breakdown voltage sounds more like cheating!" Meowth angrily said.

"We got Pikachu's evolution fair and square while you twerps were sleeping!" Jessie added in complainment.

"It was supposed to be a perfect plan...!" Evil Gengar said.

"Fair and square? You guys caught them when their trainers were sleeping." Leo said with a small grunt.

"In your dream." Alban added.

"We don't like your motto. We prefer battle cries more than crappy dialogue of yours." Skye said, putting her hands on her hips.

"Also, you are liars, now you will pay for stealing the Pichu of my little brother!" Aria angrily told the bad guys.

"Why don't you guys attack them while they do their motto?" Aries asked Ash and his friends.

"Well, it's because interrupting their motto seems very rude." Max (Pokémon) said with a sweat drop in his forehead.

"Even Paul with Chimchar did that before and we're not that kind of rude people." Dawn said sheepishly as a flower bounced in her head.

And then the Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10 slapped themselves while groaning in frustration but then they sighed to recompose themselves.

"Well in battle. A battle cry is more effective than some kind of crappy dialogues." Tetsu said.

"We can't take any kind of their motto despite how catchy it is." Aidan said.

"Unless someone shows respect for our motto." Montana Max said as his allies nodded in agreement.

"Maybe we could use battle cries next time." Garuru said.

"And I thought only demons work during the night." Shinobu told the bad guys before asking them. "Are you a new species of midday demons who always use corny mottos?"

Then Team Rocket and Team Monty were shocked by those words while Alban couldn't help but laugh at the baddies' reaction.

"It has to be the toxic pillar…!" Montana Max said, still in shock.

"Her words are so toxic…!" James said in a depressing way like feeling a heartache.

"She believes herself beautiful but her words won't crush my beautiful and radiant spirit…!" Jessie said with frustration.

"Can you stop trying to hide your age with all that young makeup and clothing, old lady?" Ursula asked Jessie with an annoyed tone.

Some of the children couldn't help but giggle after hearing that, even Seth and Shinobu joined the giggling, Caeli and Kibou were holding back their laughter.

"What!? What did you just call me!?" A peeved Jessie asked as she had cross vein marks on her face.

Then she growled before launching a flamethrower from her mouth, literally.

"Wow, Jessie just evolved into a Flareon!?" Meowth said in surprise.

"And she learned to use Flamethrower!" Evil Gengar added in surprise.

*POKÉ FLOATS/POKÉMON RED AND BLUE MEDLEY (SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE)*

"That's it! We will reclaim what we took last night!" Jessie said before calling Arbok, Lickitung, Wobbuffet, Seviper, Dustox, Yanmega, Woobat, Frillish, Gourgeist and Mimikyu.

"I follow you!" James said before calling Weezing, Victreebel, Mime Jr., Cacnea, Chimecho, Carnivine, Yamask, Amoonguss, Inkay and Mareanie, however Victreebel, Cacnea and Carnivine were hugging James. "Not now!"

"We'll fight too!" Dorimon said.

"And we'll teach those meanies a lesson that they won't forget!" White Koromon said.

The human partners of those new Digimon nodded and then their devices started to glow and the new seven Digimon started to Digivolve.

Dorimon Digivolve to... Dorumon!

Dorimon became a purple mammalian reptile-like Digimon.

Kyokyomon Digivolve to... Ryudamon!

Kyokyomon became a yellow lizard-like Digimon with a mini armor.

Tanemon Digivolve to... Pomumon!

And Tanemon became a dragon fruit-like Digimon who seems more a wingless bird.

"They Digivolved…!" DemiDevimon said in surprise.

"Now let's call our Pokémon!" Rei said and the Aether Team nodded.

"We got this!" Ila told the team.

"I'll save the best for last and knock all those foes Pokémon." Seth said.

"Also I will debut my new evolved Pokémon." Terran said before calling his Galarian Yamask who is now a Runerigus.

"It's a Runerigus!" Victor said.

"When did you evolve your Yamask?" Gloria asked the Earth Elemental.

"The last night I went to said place and then Yamask evolved to Runegirus." Terran replied.

"Very well, have at them!" Montana Max ordered.

"Caleb, can I borrow your Tera Orb?" Aria asked her boyfriend.

"Okay." Caleb nodded before giving the Tera Orb to his girlfriend.

"Here!" Aria said before using the borrowed Tera Orb on Alcremie who then became ground teratype.

Seviper and Arbok attack with Poison Tail but Alcremie dodges before using tera blast which a sparkling magma geyser bursts below them causing super effective damage to both snake Pokémon while Amoonguss uses Energy Ball going towards Rei's Oshawott.

"Oshawott, dodge it and use Air Slash and follow with Ice Beam on Amoonguss!" Rei commanded.

"Osha!" Oshawott nodded before dodging the Energy Ball and then he used Air Slash followed by using Ice Beam.

Yamask tried to attack with Hex.

"Lightning Quills!" Herissmon said before shooting lightning-coated quills which hit Yamask.

Dustox used Psybeam going towards Ila's Fennekin.

"Dodge it and follow by using Psychic and Flamethrower!" Ila commanded.

"Fen!" Ila's Fennekin nodded before dodging and used Psychic by slamming Dustox to the ground and using Flamethrower against the moth-like Digimon.

Woobat tried to attack by using Air Cutter.

"Pepper Breath!" Hackmon said, using the same attack as Agumon which hit Woobat.

Lickitung used Screech going towards Deerling.

"Dodge it and use Headbutt and follow with Double Kick!" Leyla commanded.

"Deerling!" Deerling nodded before dodging the screech attack and then used Headbutt and followed by using Double Kick.

Yanmega tried to attack with Steel Wing.

"Howling Fire!" Loogamon said, shooting a flame imbued with magical energy from his mouth and hits Yanmega.

Cacnea used Drain Punch going towards Teddiursa.

"Dodge it and use Fury Cutter and follow with Fire Punch!" Sammy commanded.

"Teddiursa!" Teddiursa nodded before dodging the Drain Punch and then attacked with Fury Cutter and Fire Punch hitting Cacnea.

Carnivine tried to use Crunch on Teddiursa.

"Little Blizzard!" SnowAgumon said, spewing a tiny snowstorm out of his mouth and hitting Carnivine.

Gourgeist used Shadow Ball going towards Poltchageist.

"Use Phantom Force!" Abelyn said and Poltchageist disappeared which confused Gourgeist before being attacked by using Phantom Force attack. "And now Shadow Ball!"

"Poltchageist!" Poltchageist used Shadow Ball hitting Gourgeist.

Weezing tried to attack Poltchageist by using Poison Gas.

"Rapid Seed!" Pomumon said, spitting out countless seed-like bullets from her mouth hitting Weezing.

Mime Jr. and Chimecho used Psybeam trying to hit Dorumon and Ryudamon but they dodged.

"Dash Metal!" Dorumon said, firing an iron sphere from his mouth which hit Mime Jr.

"Katana Attack!" Ryudamon said, firing a blade of iron from his mouth which hit Chimecho.

Jessie's Mimikyu was focused in going towards Ash's Pikachu by using Shadow Claw but he was dodging the attack until the shiny Pichu used Nuzzle which hit and paralyzed Jessie's Mimikyu which allowed Ash's Pikachu to use Iron Tail against the foe Mimikyu and Caeli's Popplio used Bubble Beam to hit the foe Mimikyu, Wobbuffet tried to capture both Popplio and shiny Pichu.

"Oh no you won't!" SnowBotamon and Yokomon said before Digivolving.

SnowBotamon Digivolve to… Luxmon!

Yokomon Digivolve to… Floramon!

"Poison Ivy!" Floramon said and grabbed Wobbuffet.

"Tiny Knuckle!" Luxmon (baby blue) said and hit Wobbuffet.

"Here we go!" Kairi said as she called her pink Snivy to face Frillish.

"Let's do this!" Riku said as he called his shiny Litten to face Victreebel.

Frillish used Shadow Ball going towards the pink Snivy.

"Dodge it and use Vine Whip and follow with Magical Leaf!" Kairi commanded.

"Snivy!" Pink Snivy nodded before dodging and using Vine Whip followed by Magical Leaf with both attacks hitting Frillish.

Victreebel used Sludge Bomb going towards the shiny Litten.

"Dodge it and use Fire Fang and follow with Ember!" Riku commanded.

"Litten!" Shiny Litten nodded before dodging and using Fire Fang followed by Ember with both attacks hitting Victreebel.

Suddenly the shiny Treecko came out from his Pokéball by himself.

"Hey, wanna battle too?" Chris asked his shiny Treecko.

"Treecko." Chris' Treecko nodded.

"Okay." Chris T nodded.

Mareanie attacked by using Sludge Bomb but Chris' Treecko dodged and used Trailblaze two times and then ran in circles around Mareanie to confuse her and then he used.

"Well, someone can join the fun too." Sora told his Oshawott and he nodded.

Inkay attacked by using Psybeam but Sora's Oshawott dodged before commanding. "Use X-Scissor and follow with Hydro Pump!"

"Osha!" Sora's Oshawott nodded before using X-Scissor and Hydro Pump with both attacks hitting Inkay.

DemiDevimon used Demi Darts while the evil Gengar used Shadow Ball but Runerigus used Protect to defend himself and then attacked by using Shadow Claw and followed by using Psychic (because evil Gengar's has levitate), Sammy tossed his twin Aqua Boomerangs which unleashed watery energy to hit Spat and Garuru, Abelyn swung his bo-staff which was unleashing a storm of leaves and used it to hit Pete, the shiny Pichu used Thunderbolt to zap Montana Max and Meowth but then the shiny Pichu fell on his back but Kibou quickly caught him.

"Now it's my turn!" Seth said before calling his Darkrai.

"It's Darkrai!" Team Rocket Trio exclaimed in shock.

"Darkrai, but how…!?" Evil Gengar stammered.

"I don't know who you are." Good Darkrai told him.

"Use Dark Pulse." Seth said.

"Very well." Darkrai said before using Dark Pulse which hit the Team Monty members along with the Pokémons of Team Rocket.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash told his Pikachu.

"Pika..." Pikachu nodded.

"Wait, let me and Alcremie finish this!" Aria said, stopping them both. "Alcremie, use Tera Blast!"

"Al-cremie!" Alcremie said as she then unleashed a sparkling magma geyser which blasted off Team Rocket and Team Monty.

*ENDS*

"Looks like Team Rocket and Monty are blasting off again!" Both teams said as they were blasted off to the skies and disappeared in a twinkle into the horizon.

"Why do you always use Pikachu to blast team Rocket, not other pokemons?" Aidan asked Ash.

"Well... He always tells me to do the ending blow." Ash said while scratching the back of his head.

"Pika-Pika-Pikachu." Ash's Pikachu replied.

"He said he always takes so personal all the times that Team Rocket captured me and then he uses Thunderbolt against them." Shiny Meowth said, translating the message.

"I see. You take so personal about it just like we take personal about Team Rocket's motto." Aidan said.

"We just don't like their motto." Jupiter said.

"If our pokemon attacked Elmyra in self defense. You need to let other Pokémon blast off Team Rocket too, you know." Aaron said.

"Chu!" Shiny Pichu says as he charges electricity but falls tired before standing up and winks while scratching his head.

"Pichu." Kibou couldn't help but giggle at his shiny Pichu's cuteness, but suddenly his stomach rumbled in hunger, causing the Digidestined of Faith to blush while scratching his head and laughing nervously.

Just then yellow and blue Kirby approached the unfinished waffles of Team Rocket.

"Stop it, Kirbies." Lotus said, tried to stop Kirby.

"Poyo?" Yellow and Blue Kirby wondered while seeing Lotus.

"But why? Waste food is not right." Cody said to Lotus.

"Because my sister prepared waffles for you." Lotus said, bring some waffles prepared by Cancer.

The group went for breakfast, the best waffles prepared with love but then they heard the Dual Scream beeping which was coming from Caleb's tablet and then he grabbed it to see Professor E. Gadd.

"Hello." Caleb said, greeting him.

"Hello, I finally finished the Translator Rings from your Pokémon that will allow them to speak human language." E. Gadd said.

"Okay, you can come here by teleporting." Caleb said and the calling ended.

Then E. Gadd appeared close to the group.

"Wow, this phone is full of wonders." E. Gadd said before seeing the group. "Now it's time to test the Translator Rings."

He then delivered the Translator Rings for the Pokémon of the Aether Team, Digidestined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors.

"This feels weird." Takato's Bagon said in human language.

"Did you speak human language?" Henry's Bunnelby asked.

"You too and me." Rika's Vulpix.

"Oh bother." Teddiursa said.

"Can I?" E. Gadd asked, wanting a waffle.

"Yes." Cancer said and E. Gadd ate his waffle.

"Wonderful, it's very delicious." E. Gadd said and eventually after ending the breakfast. "Okay, I must return but I'll bring back more Translator Rings."

Then he teleported back to the Comet Observatory while the group returned walking.

"Hey, do you like Pokémon?" Lillie asked Sunny.

"Yes." Sunny answered.

"Do you want to pet my Pichu? He is grateful after you guided us to save him and the rest of the Pikachu evolution line." Kibou said as he holding his Pichu with both hands.

"Sorry, but I can't…" Sunny sadly said.

"It's because I died of an illness before setting off on my journey as a Pokémon Trainer." Sunny sadly explained.

Then most of the members felt bad for Sunny.

"Let me help you." Keith M said before using his Primal Power and then in a green flash Sunny looked normal.

"Now touch Kibou's Pichu, trust us." Jupiter L said.

Then Sunny used his right hand to pet the shiny Pichu.

"Ooh…" Shiny Pichu said in delight, enjoying the petting.

*WE'RE BACK… AND NOW… (POKÉMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: GATES TO INFINITY)*

"Am I alive…" Sunny said, surprised before asking. "But how? Why did you revive me?"

"That's because you're worthy to live a life." Keith said.

"Thanks Keith." Sunny said.

"Now I think Sue and So, your parents will be surprised to see you." Aries told him.

---

Tonari Town

In a wooden house which has pictures of blue sky, they have blue hair just like their son (clothes like in the episode).

"Mom? Dad?" Sunny called his parents.

They gasped as they saw their son.

"Sunny, is that you?" So asked in shock.

"How are you back?" Sue asked her son.

"It was thanks to a friend." Sunny said, referring to the Wood Elemental, and then the boy started to stream tears in his eyes. "I missed you both a lot…!"

"Sunny…" Sue said before hugging tearfully his son.

"Mom…!" Sunny said, struggling in holding back his tears.

"It's okay, you're with us, that really matters now." So said warmly.

The scene was very touching that the Digidestined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors have tears in their eyes seeing said warming and touching reunion, even the Pokémon Trainers, Tiny Toons, Ham-Hams, Keroro Platoon (minus Giroro), ponies, Aether Team, Sphere Warriors, Zodiac Warriors, Elemental 10, D-Team, Chris T, Midoriya and the others children in the group.

"Thank you for bringing our son back." Sue told the group, but mainly to Keith M.

"No problem." Keith M said with tears in his eyes.

"If you excuse us, we will leave you alone for a while, clearly we understand that kind of family reunions, but later we'll be back." Seth kindly told them and both parents nodded in understanding.

*ENDS*

The group continued while Sunny kept enjoying the company of his parents.

Route 1

The group continued until they saw two familiar trainers, Trip having a battle against Shamus, his Serperior having a battle against Heatmor.

"Use Fire Lash!" Shamus ordered.

Then Heatmor used Fire Lash trying to hit Serperior but the grass serpent dodged.

"Lucky dodge, use Fire Punch!" Shamus scoffed before ordering.

Heatmor used Fire Punch trying to hit Serperior but he dodged again.

"What!? Use Flame Burst many times!" Shamus exclaimed.

Heatmor used Flame Burst many times but Serperior dodged all the Flame Burst attacks much for Shamus' frustration.

"Use Overheat!" Shamus yelled.

Heatmor used Overheat but Serperior dodged again as Heatmor was getting tired.

"This is easy. Serperior, use Breaking Swipe!" Trip commanded.

Then Serperior used Breaking Swipe which hit Heatmor several times.

"Now use Leaf Blade!" Trip instructed and Serperior used Leaf Blade with his tail which managed to beat Heatmor.

"What!?" Shamus exclaimed in disbelief as he called back his Heatmor.

"Serperior was able to beat many fire type Pokémon before, practically he is unbeatable." Trip said.

"I'll show you unbeatable, I don't care what it takes, Serperior is going down!" Shamus said, willing to beat Serperior.

Then the battle continued where Shamus called Chandelure but he was beaten by Serperior who used Breaking Swipe and Dragon Pulse, his next opponent was Centiskorch who was beaten by using Solar Beam, Trip gave a smirk clearly trusting his Seperior while Shamus was getting more frustrated as the battle continued where his next opponent was Simisear but he was beaten by Serperior who used Leaf Blade and Grass Pledge, later his next opponent was Darmanitan where Serperior used Leer and then followed by using Leaf Blade which beat Darmanitan and Shamus called his Emboar.

"Use Fire Pledge!" Shamus ordered.

Then Emboar used Fire Pledge but Serperior managed to dodge the attack in the last second.

"Use Dragon Tail!" Trip commanded and Serperior used Dragon Tail.

"Use Flare Blitz!" Shamus ordered and his Emboar used Flare Blitz.

Both attacks clash but surprisingly the Dragon Tail overpowered Emboar's Flare Blitz as the group of heroes was surprised.

"Now use Frenzy Plant!" Trip said and Serperior used Frenzy Plant which sent Emboar flying to the skies and crashed in the ground tired, then a frustrated Shamus called his Emboar back to the Pokéball.

"Impossible! Your Serperior had no way to win against my fire type Pokémon team!" An angry Shamus exclaimed, clearly being a sore loser.

"Type advantage is not everything." Trip calmly told him.

However Shamus grunted angrily before storming out.

"I see Trip improved a lot." Cilan said.

"Yes, clearly his Serperior is decided to win, even if he is at a disadvantage of type." Aries added.

"Hey Trip!" Ash called him.

Then he and his Serperior turned to see Ash and also noticed Caleb and his shiny.

"You two again." Trip replied with a smirk.

"What are you doing here?" Caleb asked.

"After knowing about Mew and Pikachu, I wanted to visit the Kanto region." Trip answered.

"Hey Trip, now that you're here, I want to have a battle six vs six." Ash offered a challenge for him.

"Well, knowing that I didn't have a full six vs six battle, I will accept the challenge." Trip said, accepting the challenge.

Now everyone is watching the battle of Ash versus Trip, this time Pikachu was seeing Ash while Serperior was back inside his Pokéball.

"The battle of Ash versus Trip is going to start and begin!" Cilan announced.

*TRAINER BATTLE (POKÉMON BLACK AND WHITE)*

"Alright, Chandelure, go!" Trip said as he tossed the Pokéball.

"Donphan, I choose you!" Ash said as he tossed the Pokéball.

Both chandelier-like and elephant-like Pokémon were ready to battle.

"Who is that Pokémon?" Trip asked as he pulled out his Pokédex.

"Donphan, the Armor Pokémon from ground type, Donphan is the evolved form of Phanpy and they attack by rolling their bodies into a circle and charging their enemies.

"Chandelure, use Flamethrower!/Donphan, use Rock Tomb!" Both trainers commanded.

Chandelure unleashed a stream of fire while Donphan unleashed boulders with both moves colliding into an explosion.

"Use Energy Ball!" Trip commanded and Chandelure used Energy Ball.

"Donphan, block by using Ice Spinner!" Ash instructed and Donphan spun his body horizontally while unleashing ice and blocked the Ice Spinner. "Okay, Donphan, use High Horsepower!"

Donphan trumpeted before charging with an orangish aura and hit Chandelure.

"Now use Knock Off!" Ash said and Donphan's trunk was engulfed with dark energy and hit Chandelure causing Trip to gasp.

"Chandelure, use Shadow Ball!" Trip countered and Chandelure fired a sphere of ghostly energy.

"Donphan, use Rock Slide!" Ash commanded and Donphan summoned boulders before launching and began raining down with the attack blocking the Shadow Ball and also hitting Chandelure.

"Use Earthquake!" Ash commanded and Donphan used Earthquake which hit Chandelure and crashed on the ground, already knocked out.

"Chandelure is unable to battle, Donphan wins!" Cilan announced as Trip called Chandelure back to the Pokéball.

"Alright, Conkeldurr, you're up!" Trip said as he called his next Pokémon.

"Donphan, use High Horsepower!/Conkeldurr, use Dynamic Punch!" Both trainers commanded.

Both Pokémon charged and clashed their moves at each other.

"Now, use Superpower!" Trip commanded and then Conkeldurr was engulfed by reddish aura before slamming his stone pillars against Donphan causing Ash to gasp in surprise. "Now used Bulk Up!"

Conkeldurr used Bulk-Up to increase the decreased attack and defense after using Superpower.

"That is a good strategy." Terran commented.

"Use Earthquake!" Ash commanded and Donphan used Earthquake but it wasn't enough to bring Conkeldurr down.

"Use Brutal Swing!/Use Ice Spinner!" Both trainers commanded with both Pokémon clashing moves again with both hitting each other.

"Conkeldurr, use Ice Punch!" Trip commanded and Conkeldurr used Ice Punch which hits and beats Donphan.

"Donphan!" Ash exclaimed.

"Donphan is unable to battle, Conkeldurr wins!" Cilan said as Ash called back his Donphan.

"You did your best, now take a rest." Ash said before calling his next Pokémon. "Sirfetch'd, I choose you!"

Sirfetch'd came out from the Pokéball.

"Who is that Pokémon?" Trip asked as he pulled out his Pokédex.

"Sirfetch'd, the Wild Duck Pokémon from fighting type, and the evolved form of Galarian Farfetch'd, it evolves after enduring an unusually tough battle." The Pokédex said.

"Get ready, Conkeldurr." Trip said and his Conkeldurr nodded.

"Start with First Impression!" Ash said and Sirfetch'd disappeared before appearing in front of Conkeldurr to hit him. "Now use Brick Break!"

Sirfetch'd then used his sword to use Brick Break and hit Conkeldurr.

"Use Drain Punch!" Trip instructed as an attempt for Conkeldurr to recover energy.

Conkeldurr use Drain Punch in his right fist as he was going towards Sirfetch'd.

"Block with your shield and then attack with Leaf Blade!" Ash instructed.

Sirfetch'd nodded before blocking Drain Punch and then used Leaf Blade with his sword which hit the knight duck-like Pokémon.

"Sirfetch'd, now attack with Brick Break!" Ash commanded and Sirfetch'd then used Brick Break going towards Conkeldurr.

"Block it and use Brick Break too!" Trip instructed his Conkeldurr who nodded.

Then Conkeldurr used the left stone pillar to block and then used the right stone pillar to hit Sirfetch'd, but then Ash realized a way to beat Conkeldurr.

"I got this! Sirfetch'd, use Knock Off to disarm Conkeldurr!" Ash instructed his Sirfetch'd and then used Knock Off with his sword which disarmed Conkeldurr who was using his stone pillars. "Now finish with Meteor Assault!"

Sirfetch'd jumped before being engulfed by a yellowish aura and then charged by thrusting his sword.

"Dodge it, quick!" Trip told Conkeldurr but he didn't have time to dodge as he received the Meteor Assault's attack which managed to beat Conkeldurr.

"Conkeldurr is unable to battle, Sirfetch'd wins!" Cilan announced while Trip called back his Conkeldurr.

He was surprised to see a new move like that, however the battle was not over as Ash also called back his Sirfetch'd after using Meteor Assault.

"Alright Jellicent, you're the next!" Trip said as he called his Jellicent, a blue one meaning that he is male.

"Goodra, I choose you!" Ash said as he called Goodra and then Trip pulled out his Pokédex.

"Goodra, the Dragon Pokémon from the dragon type and the evolved form of Sliggoo, Goodra is very friendly, and one of its hugs can cover its trainer with a sticky slime." The Pokédex said.

"Dragon type? Jellicent, use Ice Beam!" Trip said before commanding and Jellicent used Ice Beam.

"Block with Flamethrower!" Ash instructed and Goodra used Flamethrower to overpower the Ice Beam and hit Jellicent despite the attack not being very effective it did little damage. "Now use Dragon Pulse!"

Goodra then used Dragon Pulse which hit Jellicent.

"Jellicent, use Shadow Ball!/Goodra, attack with Power Whip!" Both trainers commanded.

Jellicent used Shadow Ball, while Goodra summoned giant vines which not only overpowered Shadow Ball, also hit Jellicent causing dust to fly and when the dust cleared out, Jellicent was knocked out.

"Jellicent is unable to battle, Goodra wins!" Cilan announced.

"Unfezant, you're next!" Trip said as he called out his Unfezant. "Use Sky Attack!"

Trip's Unfezant started to charge light blue energy.

"Goodra, use Ice Beam!" Ash instructed and Goodra used Ice Beam but Unfezant dodged before using Sky Attack going towards while flashing white and Goodra didn't have time to dodge and hit the Dragon Pokémon while knocking him out too. "Goodra!"

"Goodra is unable to battle, Unfezant wins!" Cilan announced.

"Surely it was Super Luck." Ash said to himself before calling back his Goodra and preparing the next Pokémon. "Lapras, I choose you!"

Lapras appeared from her Pokéball and Trip used his Pokédex again.

"Lapras, the Transport Pokémon from water and ice type, Lapras enjoys carrying people on its back, and it understands what people are saying." The Pokédex said.

"Unfezant, use Aerial Ace!" Trip commanded and Unfezant used Aerial Ace with Super Luck added which hit Lapras however the Transport Pokémon didn't receive a critical hit.

"Ash did a clear strategy, Lapras' have Shell Armor which avoids the wielder to receive critical hits." Brock said.

"Most of the tank type Pokémon like Lapras have Shell Armor or Battle Armor and are used for defensive strategies." Aries explained.

Now back in the battle.

"Lapras, use Ice Shard and follow with Ice Beam!" Ash commanded and then Lapras fired a sphere of ice which hit Unfezant and followed by using Ice Beam which hit the male Unfezant again.

"Use Air Slash!" Trip commanded and Unfezant used Air Slash which came fast that Lapras didn't have time to dodge, said attack hit and flinched Lapras.

"Use Double Team!" Trip instructed and Unfezant created clones of himself while also confusing Lapras. "Now use Work Up!"

Unfezant screeched as a reddish aura surrounded him.

"Double Team and Work Up is a great strategy." Skye said while seeing the battle.

"Now use Dual Wingbeat!" Trip commanded and Unfezant hit Lapras.

"Use Icy Wind!" Ash commanded.

"Double Team again!" Trip said and Unfezant used Double Team while dodging the Icy Wind attack.

"Lapras, close your eyes to hear the real one and then use Psychic!" Ash instructed his Lapras.

The Transport Pokémon nodded before closing her eyes and then she was able to find the real Unfezant before trapping him with Psychic.

"Now use Hydro Pump!" Ash commanded and Lapras used Hydro Pump which hit and knocked out Unfezant.

"Unfezant is unable to battle, Lapras wins!" Cilan announced while Trip called back his Unfezant and then prepared to call his next Pokémon.

"Okay Vanilluxe, you're the next." Trip said before calling his own Vanilluxe.

"Lapras, return." Ash said, calling back his Lapras and then preparing his next Pokémon. "Litten, I choose you."

The fire feline Pokémon came out for the battle and Trip pulled out his Pokédex.

"Litten, the Fire Cat Pokémon from fire type, Litten shows few emotions and prefers being alone, it takes time to build any level of trust." The Pokédex said.

"Luckily I came prepared." Trip said before commanding. "Vanilluxe, use Water Pulse!"

Vanilluxe then fired a sphere of water as Ash knew that said water type move could knock out Litten with one hit.

"Dodge it and use Flame Charge!" Ash instructed and Litten dodged before using Flame Charge which hit Vanilluxe.

"Vanilluxe, use Icicle Spear!" Trip commanded and Vanilluxe launched icicles which caused little damage to Litten.

"Use Fire Spin!" Ash commanded and then Litten used Fire Spin to hit Vanilluxe and produced a fiery tornado around him. "Use Flame Charge again!"

Litten used Flame Charge and hit Vanilluxe who received damage from the Fire Spin.

"Use Water Pulse!" Trip commanded and Vanilluxe used Water Pulse again.

"Dodge it and use Flame Charge!" Ash instructed and Litten dodged before using Flame Charge.

"Use Hyper Beam!" Trip commanded and then Vanilluxe used Hyper Beam but Litten was too close and then caused a huge smoke explosion.

When the smoke cleared out, both Litten and Vanilluxe were knocked out.

"Both Litten and Vanilluxe are unable to battle!" Cilan announced, meaning that the battle was a draw and both trainers called back their Pokémon.

"You did your best Litten, now take a rest." Ash told his Pokémon before calling another. "Back to the battle, Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd came out from his Pokéball

"Serperior, you're my final choice!" Trip said and he called Serperior.

"Use Night Slash!/Use Leaf Blade!" Both trainers commanded.

Then Sirfetch'd uses Night Slash with his sword while Serperior uses Leaf Blade with both Pokémon clashing their moves at each other like two swordsmen until both of them hit each other in the faces.

"Use Dragon Tail!" Trip commanded and then Serperior used Dragon Tail which hits Sirfetch'd making him return to the Pokéball before being switched by Lapras causing Ash to gasp in surprise.

"What happened?" Caeli's Popplio asked.

"When Dragon Tail makes a hit it switches the Pokémon during a Pokémon Battle." Brock explained.

"Now use Sunny Day!" Trip said and then Serperior used Sunny Day.

"Lapras, use Ice Beam!" Ash said and Lapras used Ice Beam.

"Serperior, use Solar Beam!" Trip commanded and then Serperior used Solar Beam which overpowered the Ice Beam and hit Lapras while knocking her out.

"Lapras, no!" Ash exclaimed with concern.

"Lapras, is unable to battle, Serperior wins!" Cilan announced while Ash called her back inside the Pokéball.

"Take a good rest." Ash said before calling back his Sirfetch'd. "Back to action, Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd came out again.

"Now use First Impression!" Ash commanded and then Sirfetch'd used First Impression which caused super effective damage against Serperior but it wasn't enough to bring him down.

"Use Breaking Swipe!" Trip commanded and then Serperior used Breaking Swipe as an uppercut and sent Sirfetch'd crashing on the ground. "Now use Grass Pledge!"

Then Serperior slammed his tail to the ground as cyclones of leaves were emerging from the ground.

"Sirfetch'd, dodge it!" Ash called and Sirfetch'd tried to dodge but the attack came fast and knocked out the knight duck-like Pokémon.

"Sirfetch'd is unable to battle, Serperior wins!" Cilan announced while Ash called back Sirfetch'd.

"Take a good rest." Ash said before preparing his last Pokémon in the battle. "Sceptile, I choose you!"

Sceptile emerged from his Pokémon and Trip used his Pokédex again.

"Sceptile, the Forest Pokémon from grass type, and the last evolved form of Treecko, the seeds growing on Sceptile's back are brimming with vitamins that can revitalize trees." The Pokédex said.

"Wow." Chris' Treecko said with amazement seeing his last evolved form.

Now in the battle.

"Hey Ash! Where did you get all of those Pokemon?" Trip asked.

"I got Lapras in the Orange Islands. I got Donphan from Phanpy who hatched from an egg. I got Sceptile in the Hoenn region since he was a Treecko, Goodra in the Kalos region since he was a Goomy, Litten comes from the Alola region and Sirfetch'd is evolved from a Galarian Farfetch'd in the Galar region. Maybe you should travel more after this." Ash replied.

Said information opened Trip's mind before nodding.

"Okay then." He said before resuming in the battle. "Serperior, use Dragon Tail!"

Serperior nodded before using Dragon Tail going towards Sceptile.

"Dodge it!" Ash said and his Sceptile dodged and then he prepared his crest of the Rainbow. "Sceptile, Mega Evolve!"

"Mega Evolve!?" Trip asked in surprise as Sceptile became Mega Sceptile.

"Now use Trailblaze!" Ash instructed and Mega Sceptile used Trailblaze which hit Serperior who didn't have time to dodge.

"Serperior, use Breaking Swipe!" Trip instructed and Serperior then use Breaking Swipe with the tail.

"Dodge it!" Ash instructed and Mega Sceptile quickly dodged the Breaking Swipe attack.

"Don't stop until you hit!" Trip exclaimed and Serperior attempted several times to hit Mega Sceptile with his glowing tail, but Mega Sceptile dodged every attempt.

"Use Power-Up Punch!" Ash commanded and Mega Sceptile used Power-Up Punch to hit Serperior.

"Use Dragon Pulse!" Trip commanded and Serperior used Dragon Pulse but Mega Sceptile dodged thanks to the extra speed.

"Use Solar Beam!/Use Solar Blade!" Both trainers commanded.

Then Serperior launched a beam of solar energy while Mega Sceptile launched a blade which is Made of solar energy, both attacks clashed both Solar Blade overpowered Solar Beam and hit Serperior, causing a smoke explosion.

*ENDS*

And when the smoke cleared, Serperior was knocked out.

"Serperior is unable to battle, Sceptile wins! The winner of the battle is Ash!" Cilan announced.

The trainers and other members cheered for Ash's victory, Trip returned his Serperior back to his Pokéball while Sceptile returned to his regular form, Ash along with Pikachu and Sceptile walked over to him.

"Hey Ash. That was a great battle. Where did you know about the Mega Evolution?" He asked.

"The Mega Evolution was discovered in the Kalos region." Ash replied.

"Looks like I have a lot more to do before I can defeat Alder." Trip said before he shook hands with Ash.

"Hey Trip, you were awesome in your battle against Shamus." Aidan told him.

"Thanks." Trip replied with a smirk.

'Now we must get ready for the Tag Tournament in Hearthome City.' Ash said in his thoughts.

Two battles as training were successful, also two new members joined the heroes' team, new Digimon partners, new crests with two virtue elemental weapons, and a boy was returned to the living world, more things are going to happen in the wonderful world of the Pokémon.

"Isn't this exciting?" Pinkie Pie asked while bursting out. "Are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been excited, except for that part when they were *gasp*, but I mean really…"

Okay Pinkie Pie, I think the readers/viewers are ready for this chapter to end now, however there will be more.
